Photo TidbitsPérouges France (#2)

By Jim and Emmy Humberd

Perouges France

Since at least the year 1130 the walled village of Pérouges, located about twenty-five miles east of Lyon, has been an outstanding example of a medieval hill-top village, with walls, gates, stone buildings, and uneven cobblestone streets. The old church, called the Church-Fortress, was really built like a fortress, and while under construction in the late 1460s they had to stop building the church and use the stones to reinforce the ramparts of the city.

While Pérouges has restaurants, hotels, and stores for today's tourists, we found it incongruous to see school children playing in the 500-year-old (or older) school yard.
